There is some amazing technology coming down the pike in
the way of Anti-Aging skincare. Even if you are still in your 20’s you would
be very wise to start taking good care of your skin now so that it will take
care of you later! The earlier you start using good clinical grade products the
better.
I am just
going to list a couple of the best key ingredients that you will hopefully find
in your skincare regimen. Consult with your skin care professional for their
recommendations and products that they carry. Here are some ingredients you need to look for.
1.
Serums: Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Vitamin B are
great antioxidants. Serums typically reduce wrinkles and fine lines. They
eliminate redness and blotchiness. Decrease discoloration, puffiness, and dark
baggy spots around eyes. Restores facial tone and firmness. Plus heals dry
skin.
2.
Acids: Glycolic, retinol, and lactic acids help
to remove dead skin. They are exfoliating in nature. They are amazing when it
comes to brightening and lightening the skin. The exfoliating natures of these
products are very beneficial. I would suggest using them once a week or less
depending on your skin type. (Consult your skin care professional for frequency
of exfoliating).
3.
Hyaluronic: This popular acid replenishes lost
moisture into the skin. It allows your facial serum (your A, C or B) to
penetrate more deeply. Look for additional ingredients that include Idebenone.
This will, in turn, encourage stimulation to new skin cell growth.
4.
Peptides: Peptides can be found in many of your
high-end skin care regimes. They are the new word in skincare. Peptides have
become an essential ingredient in anti-aging skin care. Peptides are able to
penetrate the epidermis, send signals to the cells, telling them how to
function. A couple of the most effective ones to look for are SYN-AKE, copper, palmitoyl, and Acetyl.
5.
Stem Cells: Plant stem cells that is, are the
newest generations of skin care technology. This technology offers the
protection from photo-damage and oxidative stress. They also benefit the skin
by firming action to restore skin’s elasticity and contour.
6.
Sunscreen: This product cannot be overstated.
The number one ingredient in your sunscreen should be at least 18% zinc oxide.
You should use sunscreen everyday, year round. On cloudy days up to 80% of the
sun’s harmful UV rays can penetrate your skin. Snow, sand, and water increase
the need, since they reflect the sun’s rays.
There are so many cool, new, amazing products on the
market for your skin this year, it is astounding! As I continue to delve more
and more into the aesthetic world and learn everything I can about anti-aging
products, I am constantly astonished by the results!! I hope to bring my clients the top of the line and most
innovative products to combat aging. There is so much more than meets the eye to many of these
products. More updates to follow...
See you next time,
Michon :)
